Engineers in Kane's Wrath

[oogie]

When capturing opponent's buildings in Skirmish with engineers, frequently buildings are sold before you can get to them. But sometimes you can. So far I have figured out that you can capture an ore factory as long as the harvester is in place. Sometimes you can get a building using a reckoner full of engineers but mostly not. Is there a sure fire method of capturing a building in a skirmish with an engineer?

[Reality]

if you emp the building first the AI's ability to sell it is disabled. so escort the engineer with GDI grenadiers, Nod Raider Buggy, GDI shockwave artillery support ability, etc

The emp doesn't work for me. I emp and it still sells. I haven't tried other versions like 2.0 or 1.0.3...
BUT I found a way, you can capture the last base. First destroy all bases but save the last one, then capture it. It wont sell it because it'll otherwise loose (it'll loose anyway when u capture :) )
have fun

It sucks when your chance of capturing is just based on RNG.
